17 Stunning Photos Of Texas' Big Bend National Park

Covering over 800,000 acres, Big Bend National Park is a Texas treasure. The diverse ecosystem, breathtaking scenery and rich history attract people from all over the world to this desert paradise at the western edge of the state.

The trail to get to this specific spot is called South Rim Trail. It’s a little over 12 miles and will take most of the day, but once you reach the top, the view is more than worth it.

Big Bend National Park is part of the Chihuahuan Desert, and the weather is typically dry and hot. But because of the different altitudes throughout the region, the climate can change drastically in the same day depending on your location.
